The universe is so vast that it is almost impossible to imagine how it would look like in one place.
But the musician Pablo Carlos Budasci manages to do just that by combining logarithmic maps from Pristine University and NASA pictures. It creates the striking image above, which shows the visible universe on a single disk.
Our Sun and the Solar System are at the center of the image. The outer ring is the Milky Way, followed by the constellation Perseus, nearby galaxies like Andromeda, and so on. Finally, we come to the remnants of the Big Bang and a ring of plasma generated by it.
Through logarithms, we can grasp huge numbers, and in this case - huge distances. Instead of showing all parts of the universe on a linear scale, each piece of the circle represents a part of the universe that is several times larger than the previous one. This is how Budasse succeeds in bringing the entire visible universe into one circle.
The idea of the image is born after one year Pablo decides to make hexaflexagons for his son. If you have not seen anything like this in action, admire it here.
